I just saw ep 1 and man am I excited. I liked it a lot. I was a bit scared I wouldn't like the drama that much because I loved the movie and yeah, at first I felt a bit bleh. But since the story advanced quite fast not stopping on unnecessary things I felt for it. The end of the episode was absolutely hilarious. The way they talked and acted was so funny xD I can tell that Tazza won't be much about love and I'm pretty satisfied with that. I am looking forward all the gambling scenes and all the action. They were running all the time just like in the movie. I cannot wait to see how cool can Goni be xD

Meh. First episode was alright. I wish kdramas would stop taking up airtime with their childhood trauma flashblacks, but at least this one only last one episode. I need my weekly Jang Hyuk fix so I'll probably continue for a few more episodes. I'm NOT looking forward to watching the three leads play high school kids speaking strange dialect in ep 2 though. Ratings increased quite a bit this week (think it can hit 20%?), so I assume it's getting better. But EoE is my top kdrama priority right now. <----- Never thought I would ever say that....

Episode 2 subs will be done by this Saturday. Nice, speedy release made by KST.

I'm mildly looking forward to Tazza. I'm going to wait until the 4th subtitle drops before watching it. I like KST's work too, when they don't feel pressured (see Iljimae) to churn out their work before it's really ready.

BTW, half of the fun of Tazza the movie is the Busan saturi. If you've ever been really drunk and done faux-Yakuza/Nagase Tomoya or done 'fookin aye' Manchesta in front of your friends, well Busan saturi is kinda like that. Okay, not really, but it's really fun.

Why do I get this feeling WW is not going to rate very well? Is it because of writer Noh Hee Kyung who's projects don't appeal to the mainstream audience? I just noticed that the WW special only rated 4.8% - Not very impressive considering this is supposed to be SHK's comeback to TV. I'm guessing the first episode will rate somewhere in the teens, maybe 17-18%. But I'm always wrong about these things so maybe (hopefully) it'll do 30%+

Yeah you're quite right. 17-18% would be a huge success for the first episode. Even some really hyped up series like EoE started up in the low teens and is struggling to hit the 30% mark. Whatever happened to the days when even romantic comedies would average 40% and peak at 50? (Full House, Kim Sam Soon)
